Genericity of black hole formation in the gravitational collapse of homogeneous self-interacting scalar fields
Genericity of black hole formation in the gravitational collapse of homogeneous self-interacting scalar fields
The gravitational collapse of a wide class of self-interacting homogeneous scalar fields models is analyzed. The class is characterized by certain general conditions on the scalar field potential, which, in particular, include both asymptotically polynomial and exponential behaviors. Within this class, we show that the generic evolution is always divergent …
